Phuket Town is the provincial capital of Phuket and the island's main administrative and shopping centre, with an old quarter of Sino-Portuguese shophouses that rewards a slow wander. The property stands on Montri Road, in a working town rather than a resort area, so the day revolves around local streets, shops and museums rather than sun loungers.

Several sights are close together: Museum Phuket and the Thavorn Phuket Museum are both within 650 m, while Thalang Road, Talad Kaset market and the Plein Poa Night Market are all within 800 m. The town is compact enough to explore on foot, though the beaches and temples lie further out. Wat Chalong, 7.7 km away, is one of the island's most important temples, and the Big Buddha, 11 km away, sits on a hill with wide views over the island.

A good day here starts with a walk along Thalang Road, followed by a visit to Museum Phuket in the late morning and a drive out to Wat Chalong in the afternoon. Taxis and hired cars cover the longer trips, and the local bus terminal is close to the property for travellers who prefer public transport, so getting around without a car is straightforward.
